According to ______ , pressure is equal to the force divided by the area on which it acts.

A

Pascal’s Law

B

Hooke’s Law

C

Stefan Boltzmaan’s Law

D

Newton’s Law

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Pascal’s Law states that pressure is equal to the force divided by the area on which it acts. P = F/A Hooke’s Law states that the displacement or size of the deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force or load. It is also known as the law of elasticity. Stefan Boltzmaan’s Law states that the amount of radiation is directly proportional to fourth power of temperature. Newton gave three laws of motion.
